Odds and Ends

Last weekend Faye came over to watch the kids so Bryan and I could get more firewood. There were trees that Bryan cut down a few months ago that had been covered by the snow. We went out to cut them up and bring them to the furnace since we're at the end of our supply. While we were out there it started snowing pretty badly. I was all covered with snow when I came in. There was actually more snow on me, but first Carter and then Myles tried to take pictures, and it took them a long time (and the I wasn't even in some of them!).

On Saturday evening Carter hit Myles in the eye with a railroad track. They were swordfighting with the railroad tracks and things got a little out of hand. Myles had a cut over his eye, and looked so funny with a bandaid on it that I had to take a picture. I'll have to take another one today to show you how it's black and blue.

While posting Myles' picture I remembered that I never posted the pictures of Berkleigh when she had a black eye. The week before Christmas, she and Merlyn were hiding each other under the big rubbermaid bin we keep the Little People toys in. The box came down just right (or wrong) on Berkleigh's eye and it swelled right up and then turned all sorts of colors as it healed.
